Guest's Review of Carrera Kraken Mountain Bike

Good Points

Good looking, hardwearing, good travel on base level forks. Great frame, strong, nimble and quite light for this level of bike.


Bad Points

It's not the best bike in the world but for the price I cannot think of anything bad. If I was being picky I'd say thw wheels were a tad heavy but they have great strength and control.


General Comments

Great bike for the money. Good looking, even the welding is above average for this level of bike. With a small frame it turns really well and stop pretty good to. The travel in the forks is better on the 08 model, 20mm longer, but will see how it holds up long term and on bigger drops.
The gear changes don't feel quite as solid as a Shimano but the change is smooth and quick, and never misses a gear.
I'd say this is the best bike for this money and now at £350 is an absolute bargain, go buy one now!
